Chillin' with Sora [Private, No Kill]

Flash rolled out of bed while still asleep and did an epic face-plant on the hardwood floor beneath him. He let a groan of pain escape his mouth. Flash slowly and sluggishly picked himself up from the floor and trudged over to the mirror to examine the damage he had done to his face; it was nothing too severe, nothing beyond a mild nosebleed. Flash took two small pieces of tissue and shoved them up his nostrils to staunch the blood. Flash then proceeded to perform his monotonous daily ritual. He walked over to his bureau and strapped Pain to his back so that the hilt was poking up over his left shoulder. Flash then strapped his Toad Summoning Scroll to his back so that it formed an X with the large and menacing sword. Flash then strapped his weapons pouch to his left hip, he intentionally left his Heaven's Sorrow Ninjato, his blade of preference, on the bureau, as he was going to try out his new Weapon Summoning Technique. Lastly, Flash tied his Tengakure headband to his head with the forehead protector facing outwards so that he could be identified as a Tengakure shinobi of gennin level or higher. Flash then set out of his house and made his way to his favorite training spot, the country borders. Today, his focus wasn't so much on fighting as it was on making a new, foreign friend. Flash liked to make new friends and was hoping to add one to his list today. After about an hour of walking, Flash arrived at the scenic and fragrant borders. The smell of fresh pine hung in the air. Flash pulled the plugs of tissue out of his nostrils and inhaled deeply, this was his favorite smell and brought back sweet memories of his earlier childhood. Flash noticed that the area was littered with logs all around his size, as if a storm had struck the area recently. This was good, because if he for some reason had to battle anybody, there would be ample objects to use for the Substitution Technique. Flash sat down on a log right behind him and rested his chin on his palms with a bored expression on his face, he would just sit there waiting until a worthy opponent showed up...

To most not even the simplistic movement of the child had been web for years at a time. A boy of about the age of five had been locked in his room while his own father had killed who threatened him and his well being. But it had been a complete lie that this boy had nothing to do with the ratting out of liars and traitors. This boy had been smart for his age as he had the chance to trick his own servants. Making them look like nothing but fools. No longer stuck in his room, and as much as his servants knew he had been sick and wanted nothing to do with the people in the village. The window bursting open and letting the breeze in as the boy and his checkered like hoodie fell from the kage building. Obviously the boy had not been afraid of death, seeing as he for one saw the ways it could be pushed out of the way. As he reached the top of one of the kumo building he left out, with the wish to catch an actual cold, as he had no shirt covering his body. A foolish but smart child. As he ran from the village he made his way to the border of the skyscraper village. As he sat on what had been teen sized logs and began to sing.

"Hush little baby don't cry now. Mothers gonna kill all of the damned. Watch the bloody vessels fly. Just so baby won't ever cry~" he sung sounding a bit twisted. Unzipping his hoodie his boy like body was shown, no muscles to protect him from harm, his skin tighter then those that starved, and whiter then that of the dead. Looking at the ground he noticed a cylinder like item that had been brown on one end and white on the other. "Wh-Wh-What is T-This?" He asked hisself as he held it up to the bright blue sky and examined it closely. A cigarette in the hands of a child.

Flash would notice a boy sit down not too far away from him and start singing a quite unsettling song. "Wtf?" Flash would think when he heard the boy singing the somewhat twisted ballad. Despite this, Flash would approach the boy, who appeared much smaller than he, so he figured that there was no real danger. As he came within 2 meters of the boy, he was able to see him thoroughly. He was deathly pale and skinny, and he had no clothes covering his upper body. This sight shocked Flash, he wondered if the boy was in need of help. Flash then noticed the kid playing what appeared to be a cigarette, this was yet another sight that greatly puzzled Flash. "Uhmmm...hey kid," he would say awkwardly, not really knowing how to go about the whole situation, "What's up?" Flash would await a response from this strange child. Flash would be ready to instantly summon his ninjato to his hand if the boy tried to attack him. Any attack this weak and seemingly much slower child tried to make would be thwarted. However, Flash was also ready for a friendly welcoming, he expected this much more.

Sora noticed as a man began to approach him. Though he didn't really want to make it obvious that he had noticed the man before he had spoken to him. So sora continued to stare at the cigarette, still quite puzzled by what it had been. The man which came even closer spoke, taking his time as if he wanted to choose his words correctly. "Hello, Mister." Sora would say he jumped off the log and stood in front of the man. Not even able to reach his belly button, because he had been so short. Suddenly another question came from the mans mouth. What's up.. "What is up? Could he be hard of seeing. When I look up I see that thing..... The sky... Is he like me?" sora said as he noted the fact of the boys low intelligence to the world and all of its things. "Up? Look up and that's what I see..... That's what's up. I was told it was called the sky.... And those white things up there were creatures flying around the sky, but I can't remember their names." He said as his head Hung low. The name of the clouds had slipped the young boys mind.

"If you don't know that your stupid! That's what those mean Tengakure kids told me when I asked. Who are you anyway! Did father send the a by unit to get me again! Fuck off why don't you and take this stupid thing with you!" Sora said as he threw the cigarette at flash and turned around walking toward another log which had been 4 meters from the Tengakure boy. Pouring as he felt a little stupid again, a tear falling from his left eye. "Fucker..."

Flash would be a bit puzzled by the young boy’s reaction, he had only been trying to be friendly, it was clear that this kid had some emotional issues. Flash was equally puzzled by the boy’s misunderstanding of the slang phrase, “What’s up?” What, did the kid live under a rock or something. Flash would not enjoy being cursed at, but decided to give it another go with the boy, as he was bored and wanted somebody to train or hang out with. “Uhhhh...” he would say, blinking a few times “What’s up is just another how are you, not literally what’s up. It’s a slang term.” Flash would scratch the back of his head with his right hand as he said this. “And no...I’m not whatever you said I was. My name is Flash, I’m just here to hang out and pass some time. Do you want to spar with me or something? I mean, I could use some training, and perhaps it will even make you stronger too.” This was a very awkward situation for Flash, so he had to speak with the utmost care and caution, as not to upset the boy once again. He wondered what the kid’s deal was, and even began to contemplate whether or not he was in danger. While the boy was much younger and smaller than Flash, it was often the most innocent looking that were the most deadly...

Sora listened to the man as he explained about a slang word and how he was not trying to ask what had been up or over their heads, but more of a how had you been type of question. Sora stopped pouting and looked over at the guy. Staring at him for the longest of times and just analyzing him in his head. "Alright...... What is up then? Nothing is I guess." He said to the man as he ripped off a piece of bark from the tree. Hardly sharp on either edge but thick enough to leave a mark on someone's skin. "You want to spar? With me? Okay but could you go easy on me I haven't done anything like this in a while." Sora looked around as if he had been looking for the guards that would soon be searching for him, as his father would be awaiting his return. Jumping off the log and kicking it back, it began to roll far from them and down a hill toward the river that flowed far away from the village. Sora, not cracking a smile, began to bend down and rip the grass up. He smelled it and crushed it in his hand. "Ready when you are mister." He said.

THe piece of bark toke the place of his kunai at the moment as the dirt and grass took the place of his powder. Setting it in his holsters and getting into a small fighting position he began to breath. Analyzing the man's body and looking for his pressure points. Finding two from his own basic knowledge: starting with the temples and the ones beside his shoulders. Sora's left hand touched the ground as his body got closer and closer to the dirt. Inches away from each other, as his arm bent back touching his lower back. "This will show my father what I can do so far and what I'm lacking in." He said to himself as he waited for the move of the Tengakure ninja. Hopefully it would not be a deadly one seeing as they had been in two different leagues. The spar was going to begin.

Flash was glad that the boy had calmed down, he did not want to hurt the kid’s feelings, even though he seemed extremely fragile. Flash was also delighted to hear that the boy wanted to spar with him, maybe this would mean he could test out some new techniques that he had been working on. When the boy asked if Flash would go easy on him, Flash would reply, “Sure thing man, I’m only out here for a friendly spar, I don’t want any trouble,” while smiling and reaching into his weapons pouch. Flash did however decide to be kind of a tool and mess with the kid before the spar. Flash would notice the boy’s odd movements, such as ripping the bark off of the tree and crushing up grass. When the boy had assumed his final stance, in a single, fluid, flicking motion, Flash would whip a kunai out of hit pouch and send it humming right at a spot in between the boy’s two eyes, aiming to kill. Luckily, this was no ordinary kunai, it was a special knife that Flash had marked with a seal identical to the ones on his palms, he was able to summon the blade pack to his hands at any time. The kid would almost definitely have no chance whatsoever of dodging the kunai, as his speed was extremely low and Flash could throw a kunai much faster than the boy could move. Also, the boy was but a mere 5 meters away from Flash. This, combined with the element of surprise that would come with the rapid and clear movement, would leave barely any chance for this boy to dodge the attack. If all of this went according to plan, right as the tip of the kunai was about to meet it’s mark and deal a fatal blow right between the boy’s eyes, Flash would summon it back to his right hand instantaneously, stopping it from even brushing the boy’s skin. The whole series of movements was reminiscent to a yoyo, the way Flash sent the knife flying only to return it back to his hand a second later. The whole action had been a joke intended just to mess with the little kid. Sure, it was kind of a dick move, but Flash was just toying with his new friend. When the kunai was back in his hand, Flash would begin to laugh hysterically, “Oh...my...God!” He would say almost breathless from his intense laughter, “That was priceless!” he would continue to laugh for a few more seconds before standing up straight again and returning to his serious demeanor. “Alright, now let’s let the fight start for real.” He would say, putting the kunai back in it’s pouch. He would stick his hand towards the boy, his palm facing him and his fingers outstretched towards the sky, making the special seal on his right palm visible. Instantly, with a poof of white smoke, his Heaven’s Sorrow Ninjato that he had intentionally left at his house would materialize in his hand, for he had placed a tag on this as well. Flash was now ready to see what this boy was made of...

[TWC = 1,357]

Sora watched closely as the man began to pull out a kunai from his pouch. Analyzing it he noticed a type of seal upon it. "Strange." He would say as he got closer to the ground and read the man. Suddenly the kunai came flying at the boy at fast speeds. Almost too fast for him to react but it hadn't been. As he put all his weight on his arm raisin himself into the sky. This causing the direction of the kunai to be certainly missed. As the boys face would be raised high as well as his body. Suddenly he noticed as the kunai disappeared and reappeared in the mans hand. "That's awesome. I've got to learn it." He said as he watched the man summon up another weapon a larger one at that. Sora smiled a bit and then pushed back on his arm causing him to fly back behind one of the logs. He pushed it toward the man with his legs and then grabbed on to the ground once again and tore the grass and leaves up. Standing up on his feet his back lowered so that half his height had been gone.

Sora took it upon himself to start the spar as he ran up to the man and with a thrust of his hand the grass went flying into the man's face. "I many be young and weak but I'm smart enough to take on someone like you! Don't take me for granted." He said with anger and malice in his voice as he returned to his original position being directly under the man. His leg swinging back as he retuned to a one handed hand stand. The leg swinging for thus precious area of the man and aiming to play kick ball with the hell of his foot. Nothing would be more sensitive then those that had to be protected from a blunt hit as such as the boy yelled with a ha. "Cha!" He yelled.

Flash would smile as the boy expressed a desire to learn his jutsu, he would be happy to teach it to him, but first they would have to finish this spar of course. The second the boy performed his little maneuver and started ripping up grass and leaves from the ground, Flash would weave a few hand-seals, dropping his sword on the ground. Due to his far superior speed, these seals would be completed before the boy had even begun to charge at Flash. Flash would take note of the log about the same size as him that was resting on the ground about 5 meters back, it was the same log on which he had been sitting earlier. By the time the boy was upon him, Flash’s execution of the Substitution Technique would be complete. The boy’s kick would be met with that large log. Flash would then appear in the air about 5 meters behind the child’s back. He was standing on a plain of light chakra 15 meters above the ground that he had created using the Art of Walking Thunder Technique, one of his favorites. He would now be able to move around in the air as he would have been able on the ground. Flash would then summon the sword that he had dropped on the ground to his hand so that he could have it in his current location. It was clear that Flash was much more skilled than his opponent, so he decided that he was going to leisurely test out a few new jutsu that he had recently learned. He would bite his thumb, drawing some blood, while unraveling the large scroll on his back in one smooth, flowing motion. He would also swipe his bleeding thumb across the paper of the scroll as it unraveled, smearing some blood on the scroll. Immediately, his toad summon Gamasenkou would materialize on top of the scroll, ready to aid Flash in battle. Upon Flash’s command, his toad would take a deep breath in and create a few liters of water in his lungs. With a powerful exhale, Gamasenkou would discharge this water as a powerful projectile. This ball of water would be a few liters in volume and would be traveling with significant speed, strength, and force. At Flash and Gamasenkou’s vantage point this high above the ground on the plain of chakra, this large bullet of water would easily be aimed and placed. Due to the immense speed of the bullet, (has 24 speed, you only have 10) it would likely clear the short distance between the two boys before Sora would have time to dodge it. If this all went according to plan, the bullet would smash into the small and fragile boy, propelling him backwards about 5 meters and sending him skidding across the ground another 10 meters due to it’s immense force, not to mention the kid would be completely drenched. This would not cause any serious damage to the boy, as Gamasenkou still has not mastered this technique and would have launched it with much less force than usual, as to not hurt the fragile boy below him. Despite this, the boy would be very dazed and probably sore, he would also have a few good sized bruises and welts on his body. He might still be able to fight however, so Flash and his toad would stay on guard...

Things were going to get simple with the next row of attacks that entered the mind of the raikage's son. As he thought and simply watched as the many actions occurred some had happened without flaw in the sense of the almighty and the deadly mother fuckers who had been watching the fight and wondering just how thig had came to play out for the boy who had the skill inside to be that of the actual youngest kage but not through something as they called lineage as he felt almost hopelessness to save his own life in the things to occur. Unable to fight back like he wanted to. The simple fact that the boy had in his mind in the minutes that the actions occurred and the enemy disappeared leaving a log his size. The actions struck him and his smile reappeared. The hopelessness disappeared and new power occurred in his eyes. As the two Tomoe couldhave appeared within the boy had he mastered the first and the boy quickly noticed the fact that the man had been there and only the three had to occur for more then his life to appear.

This could have been the most easiest thing to do. Taking the hit like the man he had been. He could of let all the things that the man wanted to happen occur. Without hesitating he could grab hold to the sword that the man had dropped and throw it his way. But that would have been flawed with only the summoning of the sword to the hand of the enemy. But that had been a plan to cause dismay. As the large blast of water flooded his being and washed him away to the tree. His head bumping against it and starting to bleed. He had been a child hurt over the acts of the Tengakure ninja. Sad and evil is what it felt like. But that could have happened with the boys hopes and dreams. Knocked out cold and bruised by the rush of water that soaked into the ground.

And then the should had occurred. What the man had wanted in the beginning was the fight of the life. But how could something like that even cross the mind of an academy studen who had nothing by the jutsu he was taught by the teachers in his village. He should have let the man grab hold to what he thought was precious and run while he could with the water bullet which should have allowed the boy to be washed from the field and continue on a hate trip out of the area. The only other way to get away from what had been a demented genin that wanted to slaughter a helpless little kid with his dangerous just. Certainly he had been in trouble unless he decided to tell his father of what the man had put him through and have him slaughter like the rest but once again that would be his should.

Cause only his would would appear to be the path that even he could think of. Even he could process and pull off in the seconds he had to do so. Obviously the mans actions had been too obvious. As he would drag his hands to make the dreaded seals to replace himself with the log that saved his own friends life. But this had not been a log that was as close as the log that the man had. It ha been a log which was near a tree the perfect place to go for as the bullet hit the log and the boy would climb up it to his safety. By this would certainly go unnoticed because of the shade and the leaves that hid this tree from the man who sat high in the sky. He would be watched as suddenly the young boy would pull out the only kunai he had. As he spun it. From behind the man he would throw it and then jump from the tree still out sight from the man and getting ready to leave the man. "Your a good fighter I must say that at least. But for now I must go. If we are to meet again. I will not hold back anything." He said as his eyes which glowed with the second curse stared the man down. With a hand sign he would disappear into the dark.
